Newark has such historical and beautiful buildings. These cookie cutter apartments from Harrison don’t seem to be good enough for Newark in my option. Love seeing Newark grow though.

Now to narrow the roads, add bike lanes, and extend the lightrail up Broad Street/Broadway.

Vermella developers are taking over Newark, East Newark, and Harrison. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. Rent prices are still unaffordable for most local residents.

Thank you! Good to know.

Damn. Just what that area needs, more private car storage. Thanks for sharing.

Totally. It was item number 4 on the Sept 26th hearing

“CPB-22-40 Address: 405-419 Market St Block: 179 Lots: 10,13,17,22,26,28,30,32,42,45,47-48 Description: Proposed parking lot expansion with 70 additional spaces Applicant/Owner: Raymond Newark Properties, LP Attorney: Jennifer Mazawey, Esq.”

It got its tax abatement so I am assuming everything worked out. Won’t see a ground breaking until next year most likely. They should start at the same time as NJPAC phase one development.

LMAO

Untrue. The developer is seeking to expand the parking lot next door to add around 70 parking spaces to the existing massive lot.

Glad this is coming along. Now let’s hope they will break ground on the other side of the tracks w the citisquare project. Did they solve the living wage issue for the staff?

Other U.S. airports identify with places where they aren’t located. San Francisco International Airport is in another county. The Providence, R.I., airport is in Warwick, R.I. Cincinnati’s airport isn’t even in Ohio. It’s in Kentucky.

Newark is being dropped from the group of airlines that share the New York City code for technical reasons by the International Air Transport Association. The change, slated for April, should be largely invisible to consumers. Travelers will still see Newark as an option when they search for flights to New York.

The Justice Department doesn’t consider the Newark hub one of the New York City airports for domestic travelers, according to an unrelated antitrust trial under way in Boston. The government has a case against a planned partnership in the northeast between American Airlines Group Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp.

Both airlines operate out at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports in the New York City borough of Queens. The government claims that by joining forces, the two companies will limit competition in New York.

The Justice Department said the New Jersey airport serves a different customer and should be considered a “distinct endpoint” for U.S. fliers.

The two airlines argue the omission paints a skewed and inaccurate picture of the New York air-travel market.

On Wednesday, the debate triggered a minor courtroom drama. A Justice Department lawyer quizzed JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes about a 2020 presentation that touted the airline’s position as New York’s second largest carrier by domestic capacity. The claim didn’t include the Newark airport, which would have dropped JetBlue lower on the list.

“With hindsight, we should have included Newark,” Mr. Hayes said.

The Justice Department declined to comment.

Mr. Hayes testified that JetBlue customers see Newark as a New York airport. “Everyone in New York I believe understands that,” he said.

That may be, but a lot of airline passengers aren’t happy going through Newark. A J.D. Power Survey this year ranked the airport lowest in customer satisfaction among major North American hubs. The survey was done before the completion of renovations there.

“You can get in and out of Newark airport better than you can get in and out of any New York airport,” said Mr. James, the former mayor. “If anyone wants to debate me on that, I’ll take all comers.”

The same year Mayor La Guardia declined to set foot from the plane in Newark, he reportedly said a New York City airport—later named after him—would free the city from the “humiliating position of seeing all its passengers and mail traffic go to a nearby state.”

In the 1990s, Gordon Bethune, then-chief executive of Continental Airlines, made it his mission to get New Yorkers to embrace the Newark airport as their own. At various points, it pitched itself as the “official airline” of Broadway and the New York Yankees.

Continental plastered New York City with advertisements. “Need to feel like a real New Yorker? Eat a bagel on your way to Newark,’’ one read. Another asked, “What do you call someone going to JFK? Late.”

Rudolph Giuliani, New York’s mayor at the time, demanded in 1997 that the airline kill the ads and threatened a boycott. He couldn’t be reached for comment. The airline eventually toned down the ads.

In the 1990s, Continental Airlines touted the Newark airport in an ad campaign that drew fire from the New York mayor.

“We did mention the fact that you didn’t need a passport to cross the river,” Mr. Bethune recalled during a recent interview.

In 2002, Mr. McGreevey and George Pataki, governor of New York at the time, proposed renaming the hub Liberty International Airport at Newark in honor of the 9/11 victims.

Then-Newark Mayor Sharpe James insisted the airport keep Newark more prominent in the new name. Mr. James said he threatened to dispatch a fleet of garbage trucks to create a traffic jam at the airport every day unless his demand was met.

“I’m putting gas in them while we talk,” Mr. James recalled telling Mr. McGreevey, who said he didn’t remember the threat.

New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia once refused to get off a plane at the Newark airport in 1934, complaining that his TWA ticket from Chicago listed New York as the destination, not New Jersey.

He demanded the plane be flown to a New York City airfield.

The slights New Jerseyites endure at the hands of New Yorkers are unending. For one, cars heading into the Big Apple have to pay as much as $16 for a bridge or tunnel toll. For New Jersey-bound traffic it’s Please go, no charge.

Two new grievances have surfaced. The Newark, N.J., airport is losing its New York City designation by the International Air Transport Association. And the Justice Department snubbed Newark in an antitrust case related to the New York City air-travel market.

They are small slights but carry a lot of baggage.

“Of course it’s a New York City airport. It’s a regional economy,” said Joe Cryan, a Democratic state senator. His district includes part of Newark Liberty International Airport, which frequent fliers know as one of three main landing spots for travel to New York City.

Excluding Newark from the ranks of New York City airports, he said, is “either arrogant or dumb.” Look at the New York Giants and New York Jets, Mr. Cryan said, the two NFL teams that share a home stadium—in New Jersey.

“You can see the World Trade Center and the Empire State Building from Newark,” said former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey. The airport is about a dozen miles by car from downtown Manhattan via the Holland Tunnel.

When the Newark airport opened in 1928, it was the New York area’s first major airport, according to its operator, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which is controlled by the two states. It has been a source of turbulence ever since.

‘Sadly we live in a capitalist society’ Buffoonery

Not all of us. I for one love rotting buildings and vacant lots. I especially love them in the vicinity of the largest rail station in NJ, eighth busiest in the nation. I think it’s a great use of land to keep that area at exactly the density it is right at the time when I moved in. Anything is too expensive and offensive if I can’t afford it. I’ve never taken a course in economics, the law of supply and demand to me mean if the people demand it government must supply it.

The developer will time the market. Build when it’s ripe

Last I read no actual plans for it yet. Will prob sit vacant for years

lol no one lives in these areas. If you dont build more apartments, these new residents will simply kick you out of your apt cause most of us rent. Thats gentrification. Let them have their own housing so we dont get kicked out of our neighborhoods.

Sadly we live in a capitalist society and if we stop them from building new property, our landlords WILL get greedy as demand goes up they can simply raise your rent.

I was just making the exact same comment to my husband, two seconds before I read your comment. And I agree with you 100%

I have some words for the gentrifiers but then again it’s best not to be kicked out of a group.

That pink colored building on Market Street next to the TD Bank. Looked like it used to be a motel. That building got torn down

Nice.

There is actually one that’s still 24 hours Friday-Sunday on Bergen St

Yup you got it. This is the gentrification cheerleading sub

Jerseydigs is mostly about development in NJ (primarily the cities).
